Pancakes and Strawberries

Service Description

🥞🍓 Pancakes and Strawberries Oil on Canvas | Ages 9–14 📍 Picasso Campus – 451 South Road, Bentleigh 🍓 FOR KIDS Imagine a warm stack of pancakes. Golden. Fluffy. Steam still rising. On top — a swirl of cream and bright juicy strawberries cut in half. In this workshop, you’ll paint this delicious dessert on canvas using oil paints — learning how artists make food look so real you almost want to taste it. Soft golden pancakes. Bright red strawberries. Creamy highlights. Did you know artists have been painting food for hundreds of years? It’s called still life — and sometimes the tastiest subjects make the most beautiful paintings. If you love desserts and painting… this might be the sweetest artwork you’ve ever made 🥞✨ ⸻ 👨‍👩‍👧 FOR PARENTS Pancakes and Strawberries is an oil painting workshop designed to introduce students to classic still-life painting through a subject they instantly connect with. Under professional guidance, students will learn how to build form using light and shadow, how to mix warm tones for baked surfaces, and how to create contrast between creamy whites and vibrant reds. Oil paint naturally encourages slower, more thoughtful work, helping students develop patience and stronger observation skills. Food-themed subjects are particularly engaging for this age group — the familiar imagery helps them focus on technique while enjoying the process. Held at our Picasso Campus on South Road, this workshop is perfect for young artists who love both art and the joy of delicious things. A warm painting. A timeless subject. A canvas that might make everyone hungry.
